World’s Perspective

An Unusual Victory

by Julie Mais

Trying something a little different in your herd could be the home run you’re looking for.

| April 2018

My team is down by one in the bottom of the sixth inning with one out and one runner on third base, as I walk from the on-deck circle to home plate.

With one foot in the batter’s box, I swing the bat over my right shoulder looking for the sign from our head coach at first base.

“Bunt” he signs in effort to get my teammate home. Waiting for the right pitch, my bat connects with the ball and results in a grounder to the shortstop.

As she fields the ball, I hustle to first and my left foot makes contact with the base a second before the ball hits the first baseman’s glove. My coach and I look at the umpire as he motions “safe” with his arms.

The first baseman then turns a play for home plate, successfully tagging out my teammate who unfortunately got a late jump as she was trying to score a run.

Returning to first, I turn in confusion to see the entire opposing team run off the field hollering and high-fiving, with the catcher tossing the softball at the pitcher’s mound — believing they completed the double play.

My coach and I stand in silence for a few moments trying to make sense of what is happening on the ballfield. He gets confirmation from the umpire that I am indeed safe on first. Immediately, my coach assertively points to second base and yells, “go go go!”

Off I go, running to second base as the other team is celebrating and settling in their dugout. As I round second and my side of the crowd starts cheering, the other team becomes aware of the error they have made. The team scurries back out as I step on the corner of third base heading home.

I sprint to home plate on an empty ballfield and score the tieing run,

setting us up to win by one run in the seventh inning.

Victories may not always look the same. Sometimes pursuing what you know is right, though you may feel silly and unsure of it at the moment, could just be the winning decision.

In this issue It’s springtime, and as you can tell, baseball is on my mind. But springtime also brings green pastures and calves to fill them. It’s also time to start making breeding decisions and marketing plans for those 2018 calves.

The American Hereford Association continues to offer and to expand tools to help its members. Take some time to see what you can do just a little differently this year to improve your herd and marketing opportunities.

In this issue we recognize superior cows in the breed through the Dams of Distinction program, and we recognize bulls that sire efficient, fertile and productive females through the Sires of Distinction program. Please turn to Page 30 to see the list that recognizes 2,521 females from 640 performance herds in 40 states, and to Page 36 for the list of 93 bulls recognized this year.

Also in this issue, are tips for developing heifers and getting them bred this summer. Don’t miss some key recordkeeping tips on Page 58, and get back to the basics of using expected progeny differences (EPDs) in your selection decisions on Page 54.

As we enjoy the warmer temperatures and, hopefully, “April showers,” I hope you remember that trying something a little different in your herd could be the home run you’re looking for.

Breed Focus

Focus on the Cow Herd

by Jack Ward

The females in a herd must perform in all elements.

| April 2018

March 20 was the official first day of spring, and I know for many of you around the country, this could not have come quicker. It has been a tough winter for many with extreme cold and snow in some areas and rain and flooding in others. Around Kansas City, it has been cold and dry, and the lack of moisture for many creates uncertainty as we move toward the summer months.

In addition to celebrating the first day of spring, March was also Women’s History Month, when we recognized the contributions of women to important events in history and in contemporary society.

In this issue, we are excited to recognize Dams of Distinction and Sires of Distinction. Just as we celebrated the first day of spring and Women’s History Month, I’m reminded of the influence females have on the beef industry.

As cattlemen, we focus heavily on the sires we use each year because they do contribute to the success and sustainability of our herds for generations. But the females are the ones that need to perform through cold, drought, heat and any other element thrown at them.

This performance includes calving with no difficulty, caring for and protecting a calf, supplying enough resources for the calf to grow, and then rebreeding within a reasonable interval in order to start this process all over each year. A Dam of Distinction is not recognized after her first calf for good reason. On Page 30 you can find the requirements a female must meet to receive this prestigious recognition.

In addition to recognizing the dams, it is important to recognize the sires that produce these extra special females. Sires of Distinction are also recognized in this issue of the Hereford World. A sire will get this designation if he has produced at least seven daughters that are recognized as Dams of Distinction.

Focus on genetics As you do searches this spring, you will find the Dams of Distinction (DOD) and Sires of Distinction (SOD) designation at the end of a pedigree name on all animals that qualify. If you would like to find the extensive list of all animals earning this honor, visit the American Hereford Association website, Hereford.org, EPD search and utilize the “select if” feature.

Genetics are certainly interesting to study. It keeps all of us at the top of our game to find the sires we believe will have a positive effect on our herds.

The various environments in the United States, and around the world, give us opportunities to be unique in our breeding programs. We each have different goals and challenges. We need to stay focused on our customers and, ultimately, our final product.

As you make breeding decisions this spring, I encourage you to utilize all tools and information available. You have to start with the basics and to select bulls that check off all of the boxes for traits of economic relevance including structure, growth, efficiency and endproduct merit. The tools are in place to make these choices more effectively.

May God bless you with a great spring season.

Performance Matters

They Trust You

by Shane Bedwell

Plan your breeding program to create cattle that exceed your customers’ expectations.

Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.

Congratulations to all the breeders who had females and sires earn the prestigious Dam of Distinction and Sire of Distinction honors. These awards are a true testament to maternal efficiency, and these females should be highlighted and leveraged in your programs to anchor breed improvement.

Breeding season is upon on us, and I hope you’ve had an opportunity to dig into the current Hereford AI Book.

Breeders who advertised in this issue made it a real testament to the progress Hereford is making. This issue is filled with bulls that can make multi-trait improvement, and I encourage you to seek out one of those bulls to use.

This year’s bull season has been a strong one, and there is tremendous momentum for the Hereford breed.

I have heard comments from several breeders this winter of new commercial customers who purchased a Hereford bull for the first time to put on their black cows. These are success stories, and they need to be shared in your communities and cattlemen activities. Why? It continues to build the momentum and will more than likely bring new customers to your sale next year.

Deliver performance I also hear from breeders, “My customers don’t look at the numbers, and they only buy bulls on phenotype.

BIF hosts 50th anniversary convention in the Rockies Mark your calendar to attend the 50th Beef Improvement Federation Annual Meeting and Research Symposium June 20-23 in Loveland, Colo.

The convention serves to facilitate discussion and to provide education on current issues facing the beef industry. For more information, visit BeefImprovement.org.

So why should I spend the extra money to ultrasound my bulls and get genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs)?”

Commercial producers expect this from you — they trust you. They trust you to provide a bull that has the herd bull appeal but one that can also deliver performance in their calf crop.

And I hear, “Well they just sell at weaning, so conversion and carcass merit are not important.” However, I guarantee when a feedlot buyer loses money on a pen of calves, that buyer is going to track down where they came from. Then the next year your commercial customer has lost a buyer for his calves.

This trust and relationship built with commercial customers is crucial to continued growth. I applaud those of you that have built these relationships and, as a result, are experiencing some of your best sales in recent times. You can see a trend in some of these sales that commercial customers are paying up for the bulls that have it all. It seems that for the last couple of years, customers are willing to pay close to the same price they were in 2015 for the top-end bulls.

The ceiling is high and wide for continued growth in commercial cow herds. I encourage you to keep adding as much genetic potential as possible in these cattle while keeping them functional and offering the strength for which the Hereford breed is known.

Don’t limit your programs to only what your customers are buying currently. I’m glad commercial cattlemen expect a lot out of a Hereford bull, as we truly have the breeders and the cattle that can satisfy them.

Customer Service Tips and Tricks

by Laura Loschke

Understanding DNA With the ever-growing importance of genomic testing, it’s equally important to understand how to request a DNA test, check on its progress and read the results. First, decide which test is needed for the animal. The different test options available through the American Hereford Association (AHA) are listed at the bottom of this page.

Once a test is selected, it is time to make the request.

There are two options to request a DNA test. One is to call or email AHA Customer Service, and the staff can take the order over the phone or via email. Be sure to have the registration number of the animal(s) to test ready to provide to customer service. The second way is via MyHerd.org. To get started, log in to your MyHerd account, click on the “DNA” tab and then “Make New Request.”

Proceed through the remainder of the steps to request the DNA test(s). Upon request completion, be sure to pay for the “Pending Transactions.” Once those are paid, the DNA submission forms will be emailed using the email address on file for the account.

Making a DNA test request is as easy as a couple of clicks on MyHerd.

Producers can track DNA testing progress and view results via MyHerd.

To check the status of a DNA test or to view the results, click the “DNA” tab, then “Test Status & Results.” Find the animal in the list, click on the name, and then select “Status and Results.” If the “Test Status” reads “Sent,” the test has been requested and the DNA submission form has been sent to the breeder. However, the sample hasn’t been received at the lab at that point. If the “Test Status” reads “Acknowledged,” the DNA sample has been received at the lab and is being processed.

The “Test Status” could also read, “Tested,” which indicates the animal was tested and the results may be viewed. To view the results, select the “Results” button.

Understanding DNA results Each animal is tested for three major abnormalities: Color Diluter, Idiopathic Epilepsy and Hypotrichosis. Additionally, animals are tested against any parentage available. Next to each abnormality, the box will read “Normal” or “Carrier.” If an animal is a carrier of one of the three abnormalities,

DNA tests available • Genomic profile (parentage profile, genetic abnormalities and GE-EPDs): $38 • Full package (Genomic profile plus horned/polled test): $58 • Add-on horned/polled test (adding this test after the original profile has been done): $30 • GE-EPD upgrade from basic profile (animals previously tested after Jan. 1, 2015, for basic profile only can be upgraded to GE-EPD profile, upgrade request must be made

by April 1, 2018): $20 The AHA is offering members a $4 credit per animal on their AHA account when using a Tissue Sample Unit (TSU) to submit a DNA sample. The credit will occur when the animal’s DNA results are received from the lab, verifying the TSU DNA sample.

14

| April 2018

a notification is sent via a certified letter, allowing 30 days to retest the animal, if desired.

The results also include the sire and dam of the tested animal.

These results will show the sire’s and dam’s names, registration numbers and their results. The box next to result will read “Qualifies,” “Does Not Qualify” or “Not Tested.”

“Qualifies” indicates the parent does qualify as the sire or dam of the tested animal. “Does Not Qualify” indicates the sire or dam isn’t the sire or dam of that animal.

In this event, call or email customer service with other sire or dam options to test the animal against.

If the result box by the sire or dam reads “Not Tested,” the sire or dam doesn’t have any DNA on file, so the subject animal wasn’t tested against them.

For further details on making DNA requests, checking statuses and viewing results via MyHerd.org, visit the MyHerd Tutorials page on Hereford.org.

Breeders should continue to plan ahead when DNA testing. It takes three to four weeks from the time the DNA sample is received at the lab to get results. Remember, all herd sires born after Jan. 1, 2011, must have DNA on file before any calves can be registered out of them. Also, any dams being used as donor dams must also have DNA on file before any progeny can be registered.

Thank You

If you have not yet heard, I am making a change in my professional career and have accepted a position with Boehringer Ingelheim. I will be in the animal health industry and staying closer to home and my family.

I want to thank each of you for friendships, great herd visits and memories that will last a lifetime. I tell many that while traveling on the judging team in college, I met Willard Wolf and thought he had the best job in the world. Little did I know that I would have the opportunity to be a fieldman for the American Hereford Association for 15 years.

Thank you to all of my co-workers, breeders, mentors, family and friends.

It has been a great ride!

CHB Bites

Certified Hereford Beef News

by Kaylen Alexander

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.

The CHB team promoted the CHB brand at the 2018 National Grocer’s Association Show and educational expo. The event brought together more than 3,000 independent retailers and wholesalers, food retail industry executives, food manufacturers and service providers.

Certified Hereford Beef Exhibits at 2018 NGA Show The Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) team began the year in full force by promoting the CHB brand at the 2018 National Grocer’s Association (NGA) Show and educational expo in Las Vegas Feb. 11-14.

The 2018 NGA Show brought more than 3,000 independent retailers and wholesalers, food retail industry executives, food manufacturers and service providers together to learn about today’s ever-changing marketplace, new technologies in the food industry and revolutionary brands and products to increase profits.

The 2018 show drew a record attendance, up 12% from the previous year. CHB was one of the 350 exhibiting companies on the expo show floor, pitching the CHB brand advantage to retailers looking for a premium beef product to enhance their meat case offering.

The CHB team showed several new products during the expo, including CHB Premium, valueadded and retail ready items to

| April 2018

showcase the variety of products and solutions the CHB brand can offer independent retailers.

“Our presence was well known throughout the show based on the high volume of foot traffic at our booth,” says Donald Lucero, CHB regional brand manager.

“We are a great choice for many retailers because of the premium product our breed-specific program offers and the level of customer service our team provides to help independent grocers become successful with the brand.”

In addition to the trade show, the 2018 NGA Show also offered attendees the opportunity to participate in more than 40 educational workshops and sessions to learn more about the newest industry trends and technologies.

“The educational sessions were great for our team because of the learning opportunities they provided,” says Amari Seiferman, CHB chief operating officer. “We were able to network with retailers and other organizations and take back ideas on how we can provide a better layer of marketing and educational services to our licensed partners.”

Overall, the three-day event provided CHB with the tools, resources and leads to continue building the brand.

“We had a great show presenting the CHB brand and engaging with retailers across the country,” says Kaylen Alexander, CHB director of marketing and communications.

“Our high-quality Hereford beef allows retailers a way to differentiate themselves from their competition and offer a premium product that supports Hereford farmers and ranchers across the United States.”

Certified Hereford Beef Expands Product Offering with Chop House Burger Certified Hereford Beef ® is expanding their product offering with the addition of the Chop House by Holten® Certified Hereford Beef burger.

The Chop House burger will give foodservice and restaurant partners additional options to serve the CHB brand to consumers who demand a juicy and flavorful high-quality beef product. The new product was developed in partnership with Branding Iron Holdings, Sauget, Ill. “We are continuing our efforts to create innovative products to support our customers and provide solutions for continued business growth,” says Amari Seiferman, CHB chief operating officer.

“We are pleased to partner with companies like Branding Iron Holdings that produce exceptional products that meet our brand integrity and quality standards.”

Karen Twillmann, Branding Iron Holdings director of marketing, says they are excited to offer Certified Hereford Beef as part of the Chop House by Holten® brand portfolio. She adds, “The strict quality standards, flavorful beef and sustainable care

by America’s Hereford farm and ranch families meet the needs of our customers and today’s consumer trends.”

Youth Movement

Three Months and Counting

by Rylee Barber

Believe it or not, we are about three months from the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Everyone is clamoring to jump aboard the Hereford Express. The early bird entry deadline is fast approaching, and everything is falling into place for a record event July 1-7 in Grand Island, Neb.

Events There are so many different events to get excited about. If you want to work on your public speaking skills, try extemporaneous speech.

If you are the best cook in the house, consider the Great American Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) Grill-off. There is something to suit everyone. If you want to put your Hereford knowledge to the test, then you should compete in the quiz bowl.

If you think you want to participate in a contest, but you aren’t sure what it entails, ask your state adviser or a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board member.

We pride ourselves on our various contests and love seeing the joy and competitive spirit they bring to our juniors. We have a little something for everyone and encourage everyone to try the contests.

We are also excited to offer several educational clinics, such as Sullivan Supply’s Stock Show U clinic and the Sure Champ® nutritional clinic. Both events are chalked full of valuable information for the newest exhibitor to the most experienced.

Newcomers We encourage all first-year exhibitors at the JNHE to attend our newcomer orientation. Rylee Schacher, a three-year NJHA member, remembers her first time attending JNHE and how welcoming everyone was. She loved getting to participate in some of the contests. Thinking back Rylee says, “I was so nervous, and I was afraid I wouldn’t know anybody. But by the end of the week, I had made so many new friends, and I couldn’t wait to come back next year.”

One of everyone’s favorite things about the JNHE is making new friends from all over the country and returning each year to reconnect. NJHA member Ethan Howe says, “The reason my family keeps coming back to the JNHE is because of the people. The people are what make coming to JNHE worth it every summer.”

One way to meet new people and to connect with old friends is at the Hereford tailgate party. Several of the state associations gather and prepare signature food items from their state. It’s a friendly contest to see which state has the most creative theme and best food. This

is a night filled with family, friends and a fun atmosphere. While it is a competition, most people stroll leisurely through each state’s booth sampling the different foods.

JNHE has something for everyone to enjoy. Young exhibitors have many opportunities available to them including a division of showmanship called pre-peewee for kids ages 5 to 7.

Pre-peewee gives kids the chance to receive some practice in the showring before they move up to the next age division.

Children not interested in showing may enjoy lunch with the National Hereford Queen.

Each year the Queen hosts a tea and invites members to join the festivities. Another opportunity for younger members is Sullivan Supply’s Stock Show U Boot Camp.

This is a fun opportunity to hang out with other NJHA members and go through an obstacle course.

If you have reached the ripe old age of 21 and are no longer able to show at JNHE, we have plenty of fun alternatives for you, as well.

If you really enjoy striding for the finish line, you should check out the 5K race. The race is open to all ages but was especially popular last year with our 21 and over group. If the 5K is not your thing, we have an adult age division for livestock judging. It is quite entertaining to see kids competing against their parents for the title of the best livestock judge in the family.

For many families, the JNHE is summer vacation and that’s what they look forward to all year. The NJHA strives to provide the best experiences possible for junior exhibitors and their families. The quality of our juniors and their cattle is unmatched across all breeds all over the world. We can’t wait to see many of our juniors this summer, as they are “All Aboard the Hereford Express.”

DAMS

OF DISTINCTION

2,521 Dams of Distinction Honored

Top 20 States

No. of Dams Rank State 1 South Dakota 476 2 Kansas 332 3 Nebraska 276 4 Montana 151 5 North Dakota 128 6 Missouri 121 7 Texas 101 8 Iowa 87 9 Minnesota 81 10 Idaho 77 11 Wisconsin 66 12 Oklahoma 52 13 Wyoming 48 14 Georgia 47 15 Virginia 43 16 Oregon 40 17 California 38 18 Illinois 32 19 Nevada 29 20 Colorado 27

The Dams of Distinction program recognizes superior cows in the breed and the cattle producers who manage them based on data submitted to the American Hereford Association (AHA). Efficient, fertile and productive females are the foundation of the most successful cow herds.

To be honored as a 2017 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have: 1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2016.

2) Produced at least three calves.

3) Initially calved at 30 months of age or less.

4) Had an interval between the first and second calves of no greater than 400 days. In addition, a 370-day calving interval must have been maintained after her second calf.

The longer initial calving interval allows breeders to calve 2-year-old heifers prior to the mature cow herd.

5) Had weaning records submitted to the AHA Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) Program for every calf produced that was born before June 30, 2017.

6) Had a progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105.

A cow receiving the Dam of Distinction honor is a cow that meets the highest standards of commercial cattle production. The cow must do her job, but her owner must also manage the herd correctly to give her the opportunity to excel.

Only a few active cows are recognized. All heifers have the potential to be a Dam of Distinction, but only a small percentage fit the job description of an ideal cow year in and year out. For more information about the Dams of Distinction Program, visit Hereford.org, click on “Genetics” and select “Recognition Programs.” Females attaining the Dam of Distinction status are recognized with “DOD” after their names on the AHA website.

The 2017 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,521 Hereford cows from 640 Hereford performance herds in 40 different states. For 37 years Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., has led Hereford breeders with the most cows qualifying as Dams of Distinction. With 476 cows recognized, South Dakota is the top state again this year. A list of the top 20 states and top 20 breeders who have females recognized follows.

Two special cows that make up Cowboy’s unique pedigree COWBOY’S dam, 7C, is the one cow that was not in the Loewen Legacy Sale. She was badly injured in an accident and had part of a foot removed. Her dam, 6X, was fatally injured in the accident.

7C spent over a month at the OSU Vet Hospital. When I picked her up the staff had created a valentine, or heart, on her head from the hair on top of her poll. Twelve veterinarians and students came to watch her load out. They told me she was very special, but I did not dream her first calf would be the one I had saved the COWBOY name for.

93 Bulls Recognized as Sires of Distinction The Sires of Distinction program recognizes superior Hereford bulls. The American Hereford Association Board of Directors initiated the program in August 2007 to recognize Hereford bulls that sire efficient, fertile and productive females. To be honored as a Sire of Distinction a bull must have produced daughters that have received at least seven Dams of Distinction awards.

See Page 30 for the criteria a cow must meet to be recognized as a Dam of Distinction or visit Hereford. org and click “Genetics” and select “Recognition Programs.”

Bulls attaining the Sire of Distinction status are recognized with “SOD” after their names when doing an animal or expected progeny difference (EPD) inquiry on Hereford.org.

A list of the 93 sires recognized as Sires of Distinction for the first time follows.

Getting First-Calf Heifers Rebred on Time | April 2018

t can be a challenge to get first-calf heifers rebred without losing ground. They often calve later the following year or come up open. The two-year-old is nursing a calf, still growing and needs good nutrition and body condition to cycle on schedule after calving. Two-year-olds need more care and management than mature cows.

Steve Hendrick, DVM, Coaldale Veterinary Clinic, Coaldale, Alberta, says it’s common for ranchers to breed heifers earlier than the cow herd, so they will calve earlier and have more time to recover from calving before they rebreed.

Colin Palmer, DVM, Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, explains heifers tend to have a longer postpartum recovery period than cows and are slower to start cycling again. “To overcome that, some ranchers have heifers calving one cycle length [three weeks] earlier than the cows to give them more chance to breed back on time,” he says.

Selecting replacement heifers that were born early also helps. This means not only are they a little older than the average heifer calf in the herd and more likely to breed, but they are also offspring of your most fertile cows — the ones that breed early.

“You perpetuate fertility, as well as having that extra time for them to grow,” Palmer says.

He says there are two main things that determine cyclicity in heifers. One is age and the other is body size and condition. Larger body size goes along with older animals but feed can also play a role. In the past, feeding heifers to reach approximately 65% of their mature size before their first breeding season was common.

However, work done by Bart Lardner, DVM, and Kathy Larson, a beef economist, at the Western Beef Development Centre in Saskatchewan explored feeding heifers from 50 to 55% of their mature weight. Lardner and Larson discovered feeding to 55% was adequate in their research herd. Their long-term work was not indicative of any negative effects. “You can feed heifers to lighter weight if you make sure your feeding program is sufficient to achieve the target,” Palmer says.

It is not necessary to push heifers to 65% of mature body weight to breed, and it is imperative Hereford.org

not to overfeed. He says if they exceed an average daily gain (ADG) of 2 lb., they may deposit excess fat in their udder. The additional fat can inhibit their ability to milk enough.

Important factors Age and nutrition play a role in puberty, as does the sire’s scrotal circumference. Bulls that have greater scrotal circumference often sire the most fertile heifers. Early puberty is heritable, and scrotal circumference is a good indicator of early puberty in bulls and their daughters, as well.

Additionally, Palmer notes heterosis playing a role in fertility — crossbred heifers are more fertile than purebred heifers.

“Another thing that can help first calvers is to manage them separate from the mature cows for winter feeding,” he explains. “They don’t compete well with larger, more dominant cows.

If you can’t keep them in a separate group, there are ways to manage the feed so they have more chance to eat it.”

He recommends producers find a way to evenly distribute feed, rather than using bale feeders or smaller troughs, if mature cows and heifers are together. These methods prompt more opportunity for them all to eat.

Studies in Saskatchewan found young cows tend to be more deficient in copper — which also plays a big role in reproduction. “We wonder if the young cows weren’t able to compete for their share of mineral supplementation,” he notes. “It’s important to make sure young cows have access to supplement, and that they are in decent body condition by the time they hit the breeding pasture.”

It also helps to use easy-calving bulls for heifers.

Their recovery after calving will be quicker if they can calve easily. If there is more dystocia, a longer recovery phase is needed before they cycle again.

Managing first-calf heifers separately from the remainder of the cow herd can prove beneficial.

“In dairy herds we see a lot of sexed semen used on heifers to produce heifer calves,” Hendrick says. “Even though pregnancy rates with sexed semen is not as high as when using regular semen, the pregnancy rates with heifers are often a little better than cows. It’s worth that investment on heifers.”

He foresees sexed semen gaining popularity in the beef industry for this reason alone. Heifer calves are generally born smaller — promoting calving ease on first-calf heifers.

There are also a number of drugs and protocols for heat synchronization in heifers to get them all bred in a timely manner. “We used some of these in a heifer project Bart Lardner was doing at the continued on page 46...

Females University of Saskatchewan,” he recalls. “When we first proposed that project, it was interesting to hear comments from producers. Many were hesitant, thinking these were too much of a crutch to get heifers bred early.”

Many producers want breeding to be part of the selection process for sorting the most fertile animals for the cow herd. Hendrick says it is often better to use “survival of the fittest” as part of the criteria to identify which ones become cows. When a group is exposed to a bull, the ones that breed early are the ones to keep.

and keep a closer eye on them during calving.

Shaw again emphasizes the need to separate heifers for feeding. “They can’t compete with the older cows,” he explains. “So we keep the two-yearolds separate through their first breeding season.”

The Shaws calve about 250 heifers in their spring herd, and after calving they are in small groups of about 50 each. They have seen an increase in conception rates and body condition scores since the inception of this process.

Before they calve, pregnant heifers are on grass until late fall. “We try to stockpile forage so they can stay on grass until about December 20,” he Early breeding notes. “We may supplement them with protein the Greg Shaw, a seedstock breeder near Caldwell, last month of grazing. When we start feeding hay, Idaho, says his program is heavily reliant on we give them stock-cow quality alfalfa.

Again, these smaller groups optimize notes. “We have a fairly short breeding season. calf health since calves in each group are all about We synchronize and AI all the heifers, then watch the same age.

“We have a cut-off date and start a new group,” he Shaw says before calving, heifers are kept notes. “That way if we do have a disease problem in separate from the mature cows. He claims he and some calves, it’s generally confined to one group, and his family can better manage the heifers’ nutrition we might be able to keep it isolated.”

After approximately 30 days with a calf at the heifer’s side, the Shaws begin including higher quality hay in the diet. This increase in forage increases milking and prepares the heifer to rebreed. “We have very good breed-back, better than in earlier years,” he says. “When we changed our management, so we could keep them separate through breeding, we increased their conception rates by 10 to 15%. Now we have an excellent rate of conception on their first AI cycle as two-year-olds.” Shaw uses a cleanup bull on those young cows for another 30 days after AI. Shaw keeps three-year-old females with the two-year-olds, as well. The older cows, don’t crowd the younger group yet, so he doesn’t see any problem with feed distribution. He says they work well together, and the threeyear-old females can still benefit from the added care.

“You have so much money invested in young cows, getting them to this point, you hate to have them lose out just because they can’t quite compete with older cows,” he says.

Since three-year-old cows can still benefit from the added care, it may be a good idea to “They haven’t started returning your keep them with the two-year-old heifers during calving.

investment, and you don’t want them to fall out of the program because they needed a little better management to stay in the herd.”

By the time young cows are four, they can compete with the mature cows. He says young cows are still growing until they are three or four years old, so this program helps optimize their potential.

They are not fed any more or any longer than the older cows — keeping them separate just reduces competition, so they can get their share.

“A tighter management on our heifers increases labor costs, but it gives the young cows a better chance,” Shaw says. He also has a complete mineral

Heifer development research Bart Lardner, DVM, Western Beef Development Centre, Saskatchewan, recently did a study on developing heifers. The way heifers are developed is important because the body condition score they have at first calving makes a difference in whether they will cycle on time to breed again.

The project evaluated developing heifers in an environment where they should prosper as mature cows. The researchers developed them in an extensive grazing winter system — from weaning until first breeding the following year. They were developed in two groups at two different target weights pre‑breeding, getting one group to 55% of mature body weight and another group at 62% of mature weight.

The researchers collected data on the first, second and third calving, because a lot of the earlier work on heifer development only followed heifers to their first pregnancy diagnosis. The researchers kept tabs on them longer because they wanted to see if developing the heifers to 55% of mature body weight before breeding would have a negative effect on reproductive efficiency. The researchers ultimately found no difference in future reproductive success.

program for them, since mineral deficiency can be a cause of reduced reproductive success.

“We are very critical about fertility, however.

If they are open, they are sold,” he explains.

“We don’t make any exceptions. We don’t want to produce infertile cattle or any that need a lot of pampering, like grain. We try to run them as ‘real world’ as possible. This helps our customers get the kind of bulls that will work well for them in their own programs and sire the kind of daughters they need.”

“Our conclusion is that maybe we shouldn’t try to develop heifers in a feedlot environment to get higher rate of gain that first winter, or to have them weighing more at first breeding the next summer,” Lardner explains. “They are never going to see that type of diet again as mature beef cows on a typical ranch.”

Additionally, the researchers sought to identify any differences in longevity. They discovered 78% of the cows developed to 55% of bodyweight as heifers were retained in the herd after three years and 76% of the 62% bodyweight heifers were retained after three years, so there wasn’t much difference. He notes this study gives ranchers alternatives on growing their heifers.

The main thing Lardner recommends for ranchers developing heifers to 55% of mature weight by first breeding is to make sure the quality of the breeding pasture is adequate to meet the requirements of heifers that are still growing.

Lardner also recommends ranchers give heifers a supplemental range pellet containing an ionophore. “The pelleted supplement gives them the extra protein and energy they need, and an ionophore improves feed efficiency,” he explains. “It also helps shorten the post-partum interval between calving and rebreeding and gets them cycling again.”

This process assures those cows are ready to rebreed, and they aren’t lost after the first calf because they are less likely to come up open. Kathy Larson, a beef economist, has looked at how many calves it takes to pay for development costs on a heifer. In her study a few years ago, the answer was three or four calves. Considering today’s economy, it’s more like five or six calves before the heifer pays for herself.

Lardner’s team is starting another study in this area now. “We are providing heifers with an energy supplement that differs in type and form of fat from most supplements, and providing this from calving until breeding,” he explains. “We are sourcing two types of fats, looking at mono versus polyunsaturated fats from either canola or flax — common crops in western Canada. We are looking at whether fat in the diet will improve conception rates for that second breeding season.”

They are hopeful this study turns into another strategy for producers. “As a research facility we are always trying to investigate ways of feeding heifers,” he says.

Details Are in the Diet

Grazing experience prior to breeding should be included in a heifer development program.

reparing heifers for breeding season often focuses on proper body condition scores, vaccination protocols and reproductive tract scoring. But researchers are finding grazing experience may also be important to a heifer’s successful transition during the breeding process.

When preparing replacement heifers for their first breeding season, special consideration should specifically be given to heifers getting grazing experience on pasture before breeding season begins, advises South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension Cow-Calf Field Specialist Robin Salverson.

She explains grazing experience is important because studies have shown when heifers move from being fed in a drylot to being fed in a pasture, most lose weight before becoming accustomed to their new environment.

Salverson cites one study that found heifers lost on average 56.3 lb. during their first two weeks on pasture — about 4 lb. per day. As well, she says 60% of those heifers were found to become anovular — not ovulating — within 13 to 15 days of the diet change.

Additionally, Salverson and her SDSU colleagues have studied heifers developed in feedlot and pasture situations and have found the heifers developed in a drylot had a higher percentage cycling prior to breeding, but the heifers developed on grass actually had a higher pregnancy success. Salverson attributes the drylot heifers’ lower conception rate to a negative energy crash experienced by the feedlot-developed heifers after the transition from the feedlot to grass immediately following breeding.

Salverson says researchers believe this energy crash happens when cattle are introduced to a novel environment. They try new feedstuffs a little at a time before increasing intake. This period of adjustment can result in a negative gain on heifers.

Energy expended It’s not just the diet change that causes the heifers’ weight loss. Salverson says foraging behavior is also a factor. She explains when initially put on pasture, heifers expend a great deal of energy moving around and exploring the space.

To document this, SDSU researchers placed pedometers on heifers to track and compare the number of steps they take in a drylot versus a pasture setting. Prior to artificial insemination (AI), heifers in the drylot averaged approximately 2,500 to 3,000 steps daily. Meanwhile, heifers on pasture averaged around 6,000 steps per day. After breeding, when the two groups were both turned onto pasture, drylot heifers had nearly double the Hereford.org

number of steps on the first day on pasture. Specifically, heifers with grazing experience had about 10,000 steps on the first day on pasture, while those coming from the drylot had about 18,000 steps.

Salverson says by approximately the fourth day on pasture, both heifer groups were averaging 8,000 to 9,000 steps daily. However, she notes the extra steps the drylot group took during the first few days expended a lot of energy — which may have impacted weight gain and the pregnancy rate for those heifers.

According to Salverson, the bottom line from this research is this: If heifers are naïve to grazing, they will experience a negative plane of nutrition, which can impact weight and pregnancy success.

Recommendations Therefore, in heifer development, she recommends to producers, “If you are able to allow heifers some access to pasture before breeding it gives those heifers knowledge and ability to graze.”

Salverson notes access to just 40 acres can be beneficial. “Anything so heifers are allowed

to graze,” she states. With that in mind, she emphasizes heifers do not have to be on a full grazing diet while gaining this experience — they can be supplemented with hay, dried distillers’ grain, wheat midds or other supplements.

How far in advance should heifers be put on pasture before breeding to ensure they are back on a positive plane of nutrition? Salverson says, “If you get heifers on grass at least 30 days prior to breeding, reproductive success should not be affected.”

For producers who breed in a drylot, she suggests they adapt heifers to grass for up to a month before breeding. Then heifers could be drylotted and supplemented for 10 days while AIing. When they are turned out to grass post-AI, they should not go through the negative gain period.

For producers who do not have the option of getting heifers onto pasture before breeding, Salverson advises breeding in the drylot. After breeding, she says to maintain them there another 30 days, or to supplement them on grass if they are immediately put on pasture.

All total, Salverson underscores the ultimate goal is developing heifers so they stay in the herd and have a long, productive life. Minimizing energy crashes as heifers transition to pasture and into the cow herd by managing nutrition before and after breeding appears to be integral to pregnancy success, Salverson concludes.

Vaccinations and reproductive performance SDSU researcher reevaluating effect of modified live vaccine on beef females’ reproductive performance How do vaccinations against infectious diseases such as BVD (bovine viral diarrhea) and IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) affect reproductive efficiency? This is a question South Dakota State University (SDSU) Associate Professor and Extension Beef Reproductive Specialist George Perry and his colleagues are addressing.

He explains many current management protocols suggest inactivated (killed) and modified live vaccines (MLV) can both be safely administered to replacement females 30 days prior to the start of the breeding season and as an annual booster to cows. Conventional wisdom has suggested the MLV actually provides better immunity protection.

However, via a review of several reproduction cycles, Perry is documenting data suggesting administration of the MLV, even when given at labeled pre-breeding intervals, may negatively affect reproductive parameters compared to cattle vaccinated with inactivated vaccines. Additionally, research indicates the MLV does not appear to offer superior immunity protection.

Perry hypothesizes the negative effect of the MLV may be impacting development of the egg as it is grown by the follicle in the 90-day period prior to ovulation and fertilization. But he adds, “Right now I can’t tell you what’s causing those negative effects. We have studies trying to identify that.”

Hereford.org

Until more investigation is complete, Perry advises producers, “Modified live vaccines have their place to prime the immune system.” However, he suggests an MLV is best administered to calves at weaning. Then, for replacement females pre-breeding, Perry suggests switching to an inactivated, killed vaccine. For the cow herd, Perry advises using a killed vaccine booster annually for disease protection.

He notes this protocol — using an MLV at weaning and an inactivated at pre-breeding — activates both sides of the immune system.

That said, Perry calls it “critical” for producers to gain input from their herd veterinarian before making changes to their vaccination products or timing. He notes, “Prevention needs differ among herds and depend on the virus loads that herds are exposed to.” He also explains that none of the data from the pre-breeding studies he reviewed were carried out in the face of disease challenge and did not address the question of protection in the face of an infectious reproductive disease exposure.

Perry advises producers to monitor future research findings to help determine the best balance to achieve appropriate disease protection and to minimize harmful effects from the vaccines themselves.

Genomics are redefining producers’ understanding of expected progeny differences (EPDs).

by Bridget Beran

| April 2018

s the cattle industry continues to expand the amount of data available, the information swirling around expected progeny differences (EPDs) expands, as well. More and more cattle producers are confused

by EPDs or have been given false information about the methods behind developing EPDs. To combat the fake news surrounding EPDs, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), in partnership with the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) and several universities, hosted a “Fake News: EPDs Don’t Work” webinar.

Alison Van Eenennaam, Ph.D., cooperative Extension specialist at the University of California-Davis, and Matt Spangler, Ph.D., Extension beef genetics specialist at the University of NebraskaLincoln, lent their expertise to explain the nuances of EPD development and how cattle producers can utilize them.

“An EPD has considered the animal’s pedigree, the animal’s

performance, and possibly progeny — if it’s an older animal that has progeny performance,” Van Eenennaam explains.

While the majority of viewers knew otherwise, 35% of viewers didn’t think an animal’s pedigree was used to generate EPDs. This information gap can lead people to conclude EPDs are less accurate than index performance or ratios on younger animals.

However, selection based on EPDs is five to nine times more accurate than selection based on index performance or ratios alone.

“EPDs are the best estimate we have of how a bull’s or cow’s future progeny will perform on average, compared to another animal or the breed average for a given trait,” Van Eenennaam notes.

“Many producers mistakenly place emphasis on raw measurements or adjusted phenotypes rather than the EPD.”

Using EPDs The first step for producers is to understand what each EPD numerical value means. For example, calving ease direct Hereford.org

(CED) as a +4 indicates an animal is likely to produce 4% more unassisted births. However, a +4 birth weight (BW) translates to a 4 lb. increase on the calf compared to the breed average.

“While birth weight is an indicator of calving ease, it really doesn’t tell the whole story,” Van Eenennaan explains. “Calving ease is the economically relevant trait.”

Van Eenennaam says milk (MM) is another often misunderstood EPD. A +6 MM indicates daughters should produce calves that are 6 lb. heavier at weaning — not attributed to genetic growth. An extensive breakdown of each EPD can be found at Ebeef.org, the site used in cooperation with the webinar.

After producers understand how their EPDs work, the next step is to understand how the accuracy of an animal fits in. A very low accuracy bull could have enough shift within some EPDs to change his score completely.

Accuracy is improved based on the amount of data collected within the animal’s pedigree and the progeny of the animal.

Regardless, if phenotypic data have been collected, an EPD can still

yearling weight can be easily predicted if a producer has already collected birth and weaning weights.

Assuring accuracy Accuracy can make a big difference in which animal actually stands as the superior choice at the end of the day. To find areas to improve, Van Eenennaam says to consider percentile rank tables. “[Percentile rank tables] can give you some sort of a feel for where an animal you’re looking at lies relative to the breed average,” she explains, “and depending upon what you’re selecting for and what your current battery of bulls are, it may be that you want to put a lot of selection emphasis on improving a particular EPD.” The best method to ensure accuracy, however, is still to have a large amount of records on progeny. Pedigree relationships are a strong indicator of base EPDs, with a calf having a .25 relationship with its grandparent.

Spangler notes, “Genomics are refining our understanding of the relationships between animals.”

Yet, while two flushmates may start with identical EPDs, when genotyping comes into play, the

be produced. According to Spangler, the pedigree and addition of genetic markers, the sharing of information between related animals, can help produce increasingly accurate EPDs. However, as the relationship decreases between animals, so does the amount of information they share.

“These relationships allow phenotypes that may be collected on one animal to help inform the genetic value or the EPD on another animal,” Spangler explains.

Another method of sharing information to improve the accuracy of EPDs is to look at traits with strong correlations. For instance, Hereford.org

differences between animals begin to show. Much like two children may look different because they take after a different parent or grandparent, EPDs may shift depending on which parts of the pedigree an animal takes after.

Because of this fact, EPDs aren’t guaranteed to go up after a 50K genotype test. But that doesn’t mean producers shouldn’t do the testing.

What producers gain from a 50K genotype test is a vast increase in accuracy over standard EPDs. Without a high accuracy, some EPDs will appear much better or much worse than they actually are. The beef industry uses an

accuracy established by BIF, and in December 2017, the American Hereford Association was one of the first to implement single-step evaluations with Biometric Open Language Tools (BOLT) software.

BOLT includes accuracy values on the BIF scale that are lower because they are now truly calculated instead of approximated.

The last step to understanding how to use EPDs, according to Spangler, is to know the difference between accuracy and precision.

While a bull with high accuracy will determine how closely related the EPD and the true progeny difference are to each other, without precision, a producer can’t guarantee uniform offspring.

Mating, by its very nature, gives rise to variation. While variation isn’t always a bad thing, if uniformity is the goal of the producer, precision is necessary.

“The best way to increase uniformity is to select those bulls to be very similar in terms of the EPDs for the traits you’re interested in,” Spangler says.

Above all else, Spangler reminds producers that EPDs are just one tool in the toolbox. For further information, producers can visit Ebeef.org.

The Dollars & Cents of

RECORDKEEPING Employing an effective recordkeeping strategy can help in more ways than one.

by Kayla Jennings

T

he late nights of backtracking expenses and income, the headaches of identifying to which entity those expenses belong and the seemingly endless conversations with the accountant are finally over — for now. As the 2017 tax season comes to a close, now is the time to evaluate recordkeeping methods from last year and to adopt new ones to increase efficiency for 2018.

It is not uncommon for tax season to prompt stress on the business side of a cattle operation, but the good news is it doesn’t have to. Identifying and employing an easy to use recordkeeping system can make a world of difference for producers — not only from a tax standpoint but also from a managerial perspective.

Austin Duerfeldt, agricultural economist at the Kimmel Education and Research Center, Nebraska City, Neb., works with producers year-round to formulate the best form of keeping records for them. He says no two operations are the same, and it is important not to treat them as such.

The right fit Just as operations vary, individuals vary in workflow

| April 2018

and expertise, as well. Fortunately, there is a plethora of tools available for producers to effectively maintain their records. Duerfeldt says it is not as important which method a producer selects as it is how well that individual is able to use the tool.

“It is more of finding a method that works best for the producer” he says. “Tailoring something to them is key.”

A common method among many is the standard filing cabinet.

Folders are labeled to suit the rancher’s needs and hard copies of files are placed in those folders to be analyzed at the end of the year. As a supplement to that, many utilize hard copy forms to record births, sale dates, feed logs, reconciliation logs and more.

There are hard copy ledgers available through the Extension service. It is just a matter of busting out the pencil and calculator.

“There are hard copy ledgers available through the Extension service,” he explains. “It is just a matter of busting out the pencil and calculator.”

Duerfeldt does advise individuals who utilize this method to enact a security plan for themselves in case of fire or other damages. “Using fireproof safes and, maybe, digital records provide the protection and backup for you,” he advises. “By adding digital records you can have documents stored on an external hard drive, the cloud, and in your fireproof safe.”

For individuals who prefer employing software or newer technologies, there are several additional options available.

“You just have to understand what the software is doing,” he stresses. “You can’t just rely on it.

If you understand the method of accounting and what is actually transpiring, I think software can be a really good tool.”

Duerfeldt says Microsoft Excel can be an excellent option for those comfortable with it. Like the traditional filing system, producers can set up several “sheets” to input the numerical values and easily utilize formulas to determine income, expense and more. Many Extension services also provide an Excel template for farmers and ranchers to use.

As many facets of life today are transitioning to digital systems, it is no surprise to see an uprise in this type of software. Duerfeldt actually wrote about this software in a recent article featured on CropWatch.unl.edu — Digital Farm Records Made Easy. He recognizes how paper files can stack up and be challenging to sort through at times, thus, identifying the merit in paperless recordkeeping.

“Digital recordkeeping is a way to meet expectations of the IRS, save precious storage space in your home, and make life simple when reviewing transactions for both you and your accountant,” he says.

However, some questions do arise when transitioning to this method — is it legal, can it be tied to software and how should paper copies be handled? Duerfeldt assures producers it is legal. In fact, scanned documents are addressed in IRS Revenue Proclamation 97-22.

He goes on to explain how these digital files can be utilized with current software. Quicken and QuickBooks both feature an option to attached the scan or photo to the transaction within the program.

This method makes keeping track of the supporting documents and connecting them to transactions much more time efficient.

The question of paper copies he leaves up to the person. “Some individuals feel more comfortable with keeping the physical paper copy within reach,” he notes. “Others will shred the paper copy once scanned.

Neither method is wrong.”

He does recommend producers keep records for three years. First, the IRS requires the records be kept for three years from the date the original return was filed, unless the producer falls under certain other retention requirements specified by the IRS. Second, he says it is valuable from a business standpoint to view trends over the years to make proper business decisions, moving forward.

Beyond taxes The question still remains: What is the advantage to going through all this effort to maintain quality records? After all, it can be timeconsuming, and it is not entirely enjoyable for all. However, the “Farmers and Ranchers Tax Guide,” published annually by the IRS (publication 225), outlines several benefits to doing so.

First and foremost, it is absolutely imperative to have access to records to prepare tax returns and to support items reported on tax returns. In the event of an audit by the IRS, auditors will need access to all business records for inspection. The guide states the IRS can ask producers to explain Hereford.org

Digital recordkeeping is a way to meet expectations of the IRS, save precious storage space in your home, and make life simple when reviewing transactions for both you and your accountant. an expense listed on the return, and having a complete set of records expedites that process.

As part of preparing the tax return, producers must identify a list of deductible expenses for the year. A farm or ranch can lend itself to a chaotic atmosphere at times. With so many moving parts, it is easy to forget what expenses were incurred during the tax year.

If receipts are kept in a physical file or a digital folder, they increase accuracy on expenses in the end.

Keeping receipts also aids in identifying the source of an expense. As many farms operate as a sole proprietorship, it is challenging to distinguish the difference between a farm and a nonfarm expense without those receipts on file. Additionally, those records are critical when preparing financial statements. The guide specifies those include income statements, cash flow statements and balance sheets. It goes on to indicate those statements can be useful when working with the bank or creditors.

Perhaps the most important reason for accurate recordkeeping is to monitor the progress of the business. “A lot of my guys tend to think that recordkeeping is done purely for the tax portion of it,”

Duerfeldt notes. “But, you also need to keep information for managerial decisions, as well.”

Duerfeldt recalls some instances when producers were severely miscalculating their income and expense ratios. Miscalculation has sometimes cost those individuals big in the end, and poor record management is to blame. In addition to poor recordkeeping, relying solely on the records kept for taxes can create the same debacle.

For example, Duerfeldt worked with an individual whose row crop operation was struggling, but the cattle operation appeared to be thriving. At that time, grain prices were high and created a problem on that accounting side. As a result, the producer and Duerfeldt changed a few practices so the producer could account for the raised crops being used as feed.

Those changes had no effect on tax numbers, but they organized the divisions of the operation more accurately — allowing for better decision-making.

“Tax returns alone can skew and mislead the reader on what exactly is happening on the farm,” he explains.

By having a system that is more in line with an actual accounting system, the producer can do some business ratios and make decisions based on sound data.

Farmers and ranchers are faced with large business decisions each day. When faced with those decisions, many rely on economics to provide the best answer. If producers look to their records to make that decision and those records are inaccurate or skewed, their decision may end up as the wrong one.

Ultimately, those events can result in an innocent mistake costing a considerable amount of cash.

At the end of the day, while recordkeeping does not top the list of enjoyable tasks, it can pay dividends when done correctly.

“Having accurate records on hand is what allows farmers to make informed and accurate decisions moving forward,” Duerfeldt explains.

Hereford Mom Diaries

| by Christy Couch Lee

Fifteen Years of Learning and Love April 5, 2003 was the day that I gave up my “independent single woman” status and vowed to love, honor and cherish Craig Lee for a lifetime.

There with our dearest friends and family gathered around, we certainly had a starry-eyed view of what marriage would be. We definitely thought we had it all figured out. Oh, how we were mistaken.

Sure, these past 15 years have been an incredible journey, filled with some amazing highs. Still, we certainly have had more than our fair share of challenging times, too. Times when we had to make the conscious decision to love each other and to push through — even if we didn’t like each other very much at the time.

My business, in addition to agricultural writing and photography, also includes portrait photography.

With that comes the chance to photograph several weddings a year.

I love the optimism of those wedding days — when everything seems right in the world and love is all that matters.

Marriage and the bond formed is one of the greatest celebrations in life. After that day of joy, the real work begins. The real work of choosing to love, day after day, especially during the tough times begins. Cherishing life’s greatest moments with that human begins, too.

It’s not what I thought it would be. But, truly, it’s so much more and, ultimately, so much better. Love is not found in the big displays and extravagant acts. When we were first married, I thought the truest sign of love was to go above and beyond to show your devotion.

But after 15 years, I have seen love more in the everyday sacrifices than in the grand displays. In the times when Craig offers to bring home dinner so I don’t have to cook after a long day of meeting deadlines and caring for kids.

Or in giving up a much-anticipated business trip to Germany to be with us for my grandma’s funeral.

68

| April 2018

I now see the truest signs of love are in those little moments of sacrifice.

Real love is when it’s not convenient, and when it’s downright tough.

It’s worth it Marriage is tough, but it’s so worth it. I remember, vividly, the wedding showers leading up to our wedding day. I got such a thrill out of opening all of those shiny, new pots and pans.

I was giddy over the thought of setting up a new home with my husband. I even said as I opened one such gift, “I can’t wait to play house!”

Well, I’ve played house now for 15 years. I promise, the giddiness over preparing a meal each night has definitely subsided, and those pots and pans are a bit dinged for the wear.

Some days, I feel like those wornout pots and pans. Especially on those days filled with tough decisions regarding the care of aging family members or making parenting choices on how to best raise three children to be productive adults.

Marriage is about working together as a team to help these children pursue their interests. It’s praying together and making the gut-wrenching decisions to keep our loved ones well cared for.

As much as Craig and I respect each other, we don’t always see things eye to eye. In those times, we must intentionally choose to overcome differences and work together to make the best choices for our family.

You will always change. The person you vow to love, honor and cherish on that wedding day will not be the same person in five years — or in another five years. Life brings many opportunities for change in careers, in adding children, in losses of loved ones, in droughts and floods and times of abundance.

Craig would definitely say I am not the same person he married, and that’s not all bad. I would say the same of him, and that’s not all bad, either.

We’ve been through a whole host of

life experiences that have brought new realities to our lives — and those experiences have changed us.

Marriage is about renewing that commitment and finding new ways to respect each other and to grow together, no matter what life throws your way. You are so different, but together, you’re a great team. Craig is the details guy. He likes to think through a situation, evaluate all sides and look for better possible options.

This sometimes drives me bonkers.

I’m more of a “don’t just stand there, do something” gal. Get it done, and let’s move on to the next decision or project to tackle. But for Craig, he doesn’t understand the hurry. That sure makes packing a trailer or setting up stalls, ahem, interesting.

We’ve learned to appreciate each other for our unique perspectives.

That doesn’t mean we will always be happy while we do it. Sometimes it’s best for me to just walk away for a bit while he thinks it through. I’ve learned Craig has prevented some pretty major disasters by his evaluations, and maybe he’s learned to be a little more open to taking a chance once in a while, too.

We have so much to learn. Yes, to us, 15 years seems like an eternity.

But it also feels like a blink of an eye.

With both of us having grandparents who reached the 50-year and 65-year milestones of marriage, 15 years is a drop in the bucket.

I can only imagine the joys and challenges yet to come, and how we will look back on 15 years as two young kids who had so much to learn. I can’t wait to get to that point where we can look back on 50 years together and say, “We did it.”

We surely have so much more to learn — and no doubt, more trials to come with the celebrations. But there’s no one I’d rather annoy for the rest of my life than you, Craig.

Happy anniversary.

Note his pedigree is backed up with a 33 MM EPD. His dam is an own daughter of the legendary DJB 46B Beth 1L. 845C’s sire, P152, has 23 daughters in production with a nursing ratio of 105.3.

• Warrior’s first 87 calves have an average 79 lb. BW.
